bPRG – Boil Program
The user can enter and edit the BOIL program in this sub-menu. The settings of
the BOIL program are the same as the MASH program, except that the command
CONT is not available in the BOIL Program. Only the settings for Step 1 is listed
and described in Table 12. Steps in the rest of the program are identical to Step 1.

Note 1
. Set-value can be a percentage value or a temperature value,
corresponding to a boiling step or a mashing step respectively. The unit of set
temperatures is decided by the
C-F
setting in the
SYST
menu.

mSET -- Mashing (temperature-control) Step Settings
Most of the parameters in this submenu defines how the controller runs all the
mashing steps (temperature-control steps) in both the MASH program and the
BOIL program. However,
EO
is a parameter that only applies to the MASH
program.

tSP
, timer-start-point for mashing steps, defines a two-sided deviation
band between the probe reading and the set temperature, within which the step-
timer should start. For example, if
tSP
= 1 and
m1-S
= 150°F, then it means that
when the probe reading reaches the range between 149°F and 151°F, the Step 1
timer will start.
Note 2
.
EO
, ending-option of the MASH program, defines whether the controller
will send out the power after the Mash Program ends. If
EO
= OFF, no output will
be sent after the Mash Program ends; controller will show “
STOP
” at the bottom
display. If
EO
= ON, controller will continue to send out power per the set value of
the last step after the program ends; controller will show “
END
” at the bottom
display. To completely turn off the output, the user can hold down the
STOP
key
until the bottom display shows “
STOP
”.
The difference between
STOP
and
END
are explained in the section 4.9 and 5.8.
Note 3
.
oSCr
, overshoot correction, is a parameter that helps users to correct the
temperature overshot if it happened during the initial heat up. For example, if the
temperature overshot 2 degrees, set
oScr
= 2 to remove this overshoot. Some
users may want to set
oScr
as negative number to purposely impose a
temperature overshot, which can reduce the temperature response delay between
the hot liquor tun and the mash tun. Please note that
oScr
affects the initial heating
up phase as well as the transition phase between steps. It has no effect on how
the controller stabilize the temperature at the current set temperature.
Note 4
.
mOUT
, acceleration output power for mashing steps, determines the
maximum output power can be sent during the acceleration stage of heating up
the water or wort toward the set temperature of the next step.
Note 5
.
ATTE
, attenuation constant, is parameter to adjust the temperature-control
stability in mashing steps. The value ranges from -2 to +2. The default value is 0.
If the temperature fluctuates more than 1 degree, user can increase the value of
this parameter. If the controller takes a long time to eliminate the gap especially
when temperature drops below the set temperature, the user can reduce the
ATTE
value to make the system more responsive.

bSET -- Boiling (power-control) Step Settings
All parameters, except
bEO
, in this submenu defines how the controller runs all
the boiling steps (power-control steps) in both the MASH program and the Boil
Program. The parameter
bEO
only applies to the BOIL program.

Note 1

bAST
, boiling-acceleration set temperature, defines a set point of
temperature below which the controller will use the maximum power percentage,
which is defined by parameter
bOUT
, to heat up the water or wort. When the
temperature rises above
bAST
, the controller will change the power percentage to
the step’s set-value saved in the program. By default,
bAST
is set at 200°F, which
means when the temperature hasn’t reached 200°F yet, the controller will send
the maximum power percentage that is allowed by parameter
bOUT
.
Note 2
.
bOUT
, boiling-acceleration output percentage, defines the maximum
power percentage that the controller is allowed to use during the boiling-
acceleration phase of every boiling step. By default, this parameter is set to 100%.
Note 3
.
bTSP
, timer-start-point of boiling, defines a temperature above which the
step-timer of a boiling step (power-control step) should start. By default, this
parameter is set at 208°F, which means that once the water or wort temperature
the step-timer will start.
Note 4
.
bEO
, ending-option of BOIL program, defines whether the controller will
send out the power after the BOIL program ends. If
EO
= OFF, no output will be
sent after the Boil Program ends; controller will show “
STOP
” at the bottom
display. If
EO
= ON, controller will continue to send out power per the set value of
the last step after the program ends; controller will show “
END
” at the bottom
display. To completely turn off the output, the user can hold down the
STOP
key
until the bottom display shows “
STOP
”.

RELY -- Relay Configurations
This controller has two relays: Relay 1 (labelled as AL1) and Relay 2 (labelled as
AL2). Pparameters to configure each relay are identical. Those parameters that
have the number “1” in their names are for Relay 1, and the parameters that have
the number “2” in their names are for Relay 2. In this section, we’ll explain these
parameters in general, not particularly for Relay 1 nor Relay 2.
